When Im preparing to pack I lay out all the things I want to take. Then take half.I always have enough. If I really havn't catered for a particular occasion, well I dont need too many excuses to shop.

I really need to learn.. the reason I pack too much always is cause I am always packing in a rush.... so I just pack everything to obviate the need for thinking... my Xmas was also ALOT quieter than I thought it would be

im at expert at packing light
im off for a 3 week holiday next week, and as im staying with family, there will be laundrey facilities on hand
i will be able to fit all i need into one suitcase
i never take toiletries, or sun tan lotion or stuff like that, i usually get that when i get to my destination, and leave all that behind when im off home again
i take a nice selection of going out clothes, but stuff for the beach, and hanging around the apartment/hotel, i take my old stuff [stuff thats ok to wear, but i dont really want anymore,] and i leave that behind as well
same with my kids ..... kids are growing all the time and need new outfits, so instead of buying new holiday clothes, i save the money and buy the clothes while im on holiday, so we have a fun shopping day, and find things we wouldnt find at the stores back home
and i take old t faded t shirts and shorts for them for the beach, and leave them behind at the end of the holiday
same as towels ......... they take up so much room in a case ..... and are so cheap to buy, i usually take 2 old ones, and buy a few when im holidaying
all in all ........ the stuff ive left behind, leaves room for the new stuff i aquired

Me too, it got sooo bad i used to fill my case then start on putting stuff in my husbands, biggest obsession was toiletries.

Which leads me to the question.... why is all that female stuff called "toiletries"? Doesn't sound too appealing.... ya know?
------ This thread is Archived ------
I pack very little. It is what I buy after I arrive that fills up my suitcase.

Good question !

I do that to cos i've used all the 'toiletries' (that word again, Indy) and have more room !

I buy small bottles of the necessities when I get there.
There is some benefit to not wearing make up

I travel a fair amount for work, but am guilty of not packing light. Part of this is pragmatic - if we're shooting a commercial, the weather conditions and temp vary greatly - and I hate not having the right gear.
I'm actually buying a larger suitcase for my trip to Detroit in a few weeks. Cold weather stuff takes up a lot of space.

Oh I'm bad.. I either pack waaay too much.. or the other extreme.. I pack undies, face cream. tooth brush. (and check in an empty suitcase lol)
Then buy everything else while im there..
THEN I have to buy ANOTHER suitcase.. because I'm coming back with enough stuff to now fill TWO big cases AND a big carry on.
I get fined at the airports OFTEN
Often? Okay..
everytime.

and our parents or couples want to feel better about themselves out of such behaviour of ours!
we pack so much because one day we may feel beautiful with an outfit that may not serve for another day!
